Adding panes and features to the Executive Dashboard

Hi,

I have a small project wherein the Executive Dashboard fits the bill. I'd probably need to overhaul the database and edit the queries in the service class to adjust accordingly to my changes, but overall the changes I need are, and of which I'm hoping to reach out to you guys for answers to:

Instead of displaying amounts and figures for sales and revenues, I need it to display hours instead (because instead of sales data I need it to display utilization figures). Is my assumption correct that I just indeed need to edit the queries on the service class with the new tables and columns that I'll add to the included database file?
I'll need to add a pane to the left of the dashboard (the exact same pane that's there in the Sales Dashboard) to have a list of people. Each time a user selects a person from the list the data updates to be specific only to that person. To be completely honest I've got limited knowledge with customizing WPF and unfortunately have a very limited amount of time to deliver this. Is there a white paper or article specific to the Executive Dashboard to guide me though? Or was there a similar implementation through the discussions here that did so? (did a search but can't seem to find one)
Aside from the pane, I'd also need to add functionality to Add, Edit, and Delete records per person through the app. As far as I'm aware the Executive Dashboard doesn't have that functionality and was thinking of adding it in the Information pane that expands when clicked (the one that shows SQL Azure etc.). I'd just need to call another XAML page containing the functionalities to add and edit right?
If I'd like to create an installer for whatever will be finalized, what DLL's will I need to package with the installer and how difficult will it be to setup? Or does Telerik also have its own compiler application for this need?

We currently have a DevCraft license and thought it'd be best not to reinvent the wheel in this rather little pet project, and there's no resource at the moment here who currenlty have any background to WPF. So any thoughts would be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Fixed Width/Height for axis

Hello,

I am using a radcartesianview. Is it possible to make the axis a fixed width height, so the chart doesn't jump when I scroll. Preferably, this would be the height of the longest named category on the axis.

Thanks,
Eric

Drop failing after enabling native drag

Hi all,

I chose to use EnableNativeDrag to get around another bug I was having with the drag/drop (was giving me errors regarding my layout not wrapped in adorners layer, and someone suggested to use native drag). However, my OnDropInfo code, which was working previously, is now not executing the block when drop status is DropComplete.

More info:

I did RadDragAndDropManager.EnableNativeDrag = true in my drag source. The drag source is a RadTreeView and drop target is a RadChart.

Drag code:

private void OnDragQueryHandler(object sender, DragDropQueryEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Options.Status == DragStatus.DragQuery)

{

RadTreeViewItem item = e.OriginalSource as RadTreeViewItem;

ContentControl cue = new ContentControl();

cue.ContentTemplate = this.Resources["ApplicationDragTemplate"] as DataTemplate;

cue.Content = new TextBlock()

{

Padding = new Thickness(5),

Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.LightBlue),

FontSize = 12

};

if (item.Item is CustomItem)

{

// do stuff

}

else

{

e.QueryResult = false;

return;

}

e.Options.DragCue = cue;

}

e.QueryResult = true;

}

private void OnDragInfoHandler(object sender, DragDropEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Options.Status == DragStatus.DragComplete)

{

// do stuff

}

}



And drop code:




private void OnDropQueryHandler(object sender, DragDropQueryEventArgs e)
{
    var payload = e.Options.Payload;
 
    e.QueryResult = payload is CustomItem;
}
 
private void OnDropInfoHandler(object sender, DragDropEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Options.Status == DragStatus.DropPossible)
    {
        UI_RadChart.BorderBrush = WPConstants.DRAG_BRUSH;
    }
    else
    {
        UI_RadChart.BorderBrush = null;
    }
 
    if (e.Options.Status == DragStatus.DropComplete)
    {
        // DO STUFF, NOT REACHING HERE 
    }
}

Programmatically jump to next/prev row between groups

Hello!
I'm designing RadGridView and I've got case.
First of all - here is my code:

var cmd = default(RoutedUICommand);

switch (newVal)

{

case Go.Previous:

{

cmd = RadGridViewCommands.MoveUp as RoutedUICommand;

}

break;

case Go.Next:

{

cmd = RadGridViewCommands.MoveDown as RoutedUICommand;

}

break;

}

if (cmd != null && cmd.CanExecute(null, gridView))

{

cmd.Execute(null, gridView);

var selectCmd = RadGridViewCommands.SelectCurrentUnit as RoutedUICommand;

if (selectCmd != null && selectCmd.CanExecute(null, gridView))

{

selectCmd.Execute(null, gridView);

}

When I'm going next element to end of group and try to pass to the next group next group is opening, but first element of second group is not selected (!). When I hit "next" button second time - second item of second group selects just passing first.
How can I manage it? I tough about event handler to select first element of just opened group, but GroupRowIsExpandedChanging is not working.
Kind regards!

MinAppointmentHeight

There are several threads where the "MinAppointmentHeight" of the Schedule View is suggested in order to be able to assigned an arbitrary height to appointments. Normally the default template in the Month View display the "Subjet" of the appointment as one line of text.

On the application I am working on, one of the requirements we have is to be able to allow the user to pick and choose several fields to display on the appointments on the Month View. For example, a user might choose 9 different fields to view on the appointment UI, in 9 different rows.

Setting the "MinAppointmentHeight" indeed works to increase the height of the Appointment Item Control, so the user can see all of the fields displayed. However, once that is done, the measuring logic to display stacked up appointments as well as the expander (up and down arrow) at the bottom falls apart.

If my appointment height is larger than the height of the week, the appointment item overflows the container and spills into the next week. One easy way to see this problem is to change the Schedule View "MinAppointmentHeight" to 150 for any of the samples that shows a Month View.

Ideally, if the appointment does not fit, then it should be hidden, and that's actually the measuring logic currently being applied except it does not work once I start setting my own "MinAppointmentHeight". It works wonderfully with one liner appointment as all of your examples but the measuring is buggy with extra taller appointments.

I am attaching a screen shot, for the problem.
Your help will be appreciated.
